Continence Max is an all new and improved bladder strength formula. Butterbur, St. John's Wort, and GABA, together with Flowtrol™, a medically and nutritionally researched blend of supportive herbs, combine to make a powerful, extra strength formula to support bladder strength.
Continence Plan
-
Drink enough fluids - At least 50 ounces (about 6½ cups) per day. Limiting daily fluid intake can actually aggravate weakened bladders.
-
Avoid beverages with caffeine and alcohol, as they can increase urine production.
-
Eat foods high in fiber and avoid beverages that can irritate the bladder (i.e. grapefruit and tomato-based products).
-
Maintain a normal healthy weight.
-
Avoid smoking.
-
Get adequate rest.
-
Perform Kegel exercises on a daily basis. These exercises involve strengthening the muscles which control the flow of urine. They can be done in just 5 minutes, 3 times a day, while sitting, standing, or lying on the floor. Noticeable improvement in bladder strength may be seen within 6 weeks; however it may take longer in some individuals. Ask your health care professional about how to perform these exercises properly.
Ingredient Features
-

The four Chinese herbs in this formula (Morinda Root Ext., Psorelia Fruit Ext., Raspberry Fruit Ext., Alpinia Oxyphylla Ext.) have been used in Chinese medicine to support bladder strength.

-
Clinical studies confirm that compounds in the Cranberry AF™ Extract create anti-adherence factor on cells that line the urinary trace, thus supporting bladder health.
